Fun Thanks


It's another happy Saturday and time for the latest Dynamic Duos color challenge!  This week is the soft and subtle combo of So Saffron and Certainly Celery.  I did not have any Certainly Celery left in my stash, so I subbed in Pear Pizzaz.  My jumping off point was the color combo of course, but I mixed in the sketch from Try Stampin' On Tuesday.
I thought the cute little trike from the Moving Forward set would be a nice fit for this cheerful color combo.  I also found some fun designer paper from Floral District and Pawsatively Prints II to get this card going.  I stamped the trike in Pear Pizzaz, cut it out with a labels die and layered it on a hand cut label.  Sometimes the next size up die is to large for layering on a project, so I traced around the outside of the same die I used on the trike and did some hand cutting.  This makes a nice little layering piece.  I added the punched flowers for a 3-D ellement.  The one below the basket is placed there because of an ink smear.  I was happy to find a way to cover it up!  The little frog layered on punch circles brings a little more whimsy and fun.  The last thing   I did was add some glitter glue to the frog's hop trail, and the trike.  



Make sure you pop on over and visit the blogs of the other design team members!  They have all delivered tons of inspiration!

  3. Cute, cute card, Jenny. ;-) You used all the right elements for this one, and it makes me feel like Spring is on the way! (I would LOVE that to be true - LOL.) Very clever way to hide the smear, too. ;-) Nice job!
